freedom comes at a cost. the people that pay that cost are the service men and women of our armed forces. here at home and all across the globe, they protect us. they serve us. they keep our freedom secure. we can never repay them for what they do. however, the uso has always been by their side for the past 70 years supporting and comforting, connecting and entertaining in new and imaginative ways. >> i just want you boys to see what you're fighting for. that's all. >> reporter: one of the most visible parts of the uso is the entertainment factor. the legendary bob hope was the face of the uso for so many years. i remember watching nbc with my parents and family as bob hope and countless stars entertained soldiers in far away places we would only hear about and see in the movies. the smiles and laughs and appreciation in the face of

those service men and women brought a smile and warmed our homes and hearts. my goal is to take part in that tradition by bringing a little bit of home and a few laughs to our troops abroad. >> great. it's going to be amazing. >> how does this come together now? >> we put together an all-star lineup. the today uso comedy tour. we'll head to the middle east to entertain troops like bob hope did and we're so excited to announce the tour's headliner, none other than jay leno. >> way to go! that's cool. hi, jay. good morning. >> hi, guys. how are you doing? >> doing great. when al called did you just drop everything? any hesitation? >> when al called -- to see al do comedy, i will drop everything. >> no, not me. i'm just intro you guys. >> he's the emcee. >> who else is going to join you and al out there?

i said to the commanding officer, excuse me, where's the stage. just stand on the tank. okay. it's 120 degrees. i said is there a microphone. we don't have a microphone. just yell. they'll hear you. i said this is going to be horrible. i go up there and i tell the first joke. you have to remember these guys haven't heard a joke or at least a new one in nine months. all of a sudden they are falling down laughing. everything i say. i go, i got to get more of these kuwait tank shows. these are fantastic. fantastic. greatest audience i ever had. >> so, jay, since you have done it before, besides learning how to stand on a tank and wearing cooling clothing, what advice can you give to our good friend, al. >> i am so anxious to see al entertain these troops. >> i don't know that they are. >> it will be great fun. they really are the greatest audience in the world and, you

their kids. they share antibiotics among the family. when they are misused in any way, they cannot only be dangerous but deadly. >> as a mom, shari learned that the hard way. >> we got a phone call. you need to get to the hospital. aaron is not breathing. >> reporter: her son, aaron, was a high school football star with a bright future but behind his parents' back, aaron was an addict secretly abusing painkillers to get high. how in the dark were you and your husband about his habit? >> extremely in the dark. we were involved parents in religious training, in boy scouts, in pta, in the classroom. we still had no idea. >> reporter: one night all that changed. aaron was at a friend's house and accidentally overdosed leaving him with permanent brain damage. today he can't talk or walk.

his parents must care for him around the clock. >> the challenges that he and our family have to live with every day are insurmountable. >> reporter: you view aaron as a soldier in a war. do you think our kids are at war with prescription drugs? >> absolutely. we need to educate ourselves to when your child is approached to take this, it's just like marijuana but better, they will have the proper knowledge to not take it. every 14 minutes someone in our country dies from a prescription drug overdose. >> reporter: it's a message they now take to teens across the country. >> if one kid in the room listens and makes a good choice, they have saved their family a tragic heartache. >> that was maria shriver reporting. if you want more information and learn three things that parents can do to prevent prescription

voice" but is also making time to talk with us about that new season and how he feels about his fellow coaches. here is willie. >> adam levine is a man of many talents. movie star, rock star and one of the head judges on nbc's "the voice." good to see you, man. >> it's coaches, actually. we prefer coaches on "the voice." judge sounds judgy. coach like i'm helping and judge is like i'm judging. >> got it. forgive me. one of the head coaches, adam levine. let's talk about the season. we've got new coaches in. what's the new dynamic there? >> yeah. we're super lucky, because i think that every time you present new people into the equation, it can -- you don't know what it's going to be like. and we were just, once again, extremely lucky and gwen and pharrell are amazing. i love both of them so so much already that it's going to be a blast. it has been a blast. i'm sure it will continue to be. >> what's different about them, than ceelo and some of these

other coaches? >> gwen is in a band. pharrell is multitalented. he is a song writer, an artist and does a a little bit of everything. huge fan of those two as well. >> the coaches on the show are the a of the "a" list in music. do you think you and blake made it okay for other artists to come into what others viewed initially as a reality show? >> i think so. i think we were a little scared when we did it. i don't know. what were we doing? you know? i do think that the success of the show and credibility of the show has kind of caused a lot of other artists in our position to at least think about it, because it's just -- the world is a different place now. >> different how when you say that? >> different in that you can now launch a single on a reality singing competition and it's very effective, much like back in the day when you're performing on a huge talk show and it was out to 10, 12 million people, it had a big impact. i think it's a really great vehicle for everyone to promote their music and also a great show for someone to be involved

in. obviously, if people like pharrell and gwen are signing on, it just shows you the extent of the credibility of the show. >> you, usher, shakira, i've had so many people say i didn't know i liked him or her before i watched this show. can you talk about what this show has done personally will you in your career? >> yeah, i don't think that anybody -- it does give you a chance to show who you are. it's wonderful to show my personality with people and show a side of myself that was, you know, the more desirable side of myself. >> not that there's another side. >> there's a deeply inappropriate side. >> you and blake, obviously, have this rivalry going on the show. you've had it since the first season of "the voice." how ugly do things get between the two of you? >> blake is a terrible person, like down to his core. >> right. >> so, he's just so -- i don't really take him seriously as a human being. so it's good. it frees me up to joke around. i can't think of one thing i like about him. >> really?

>> yeah. it's really hard. he's kind of funny, you know? not sure if that's lack of iq or just sheer stupidity. >> wow! >> or maybe he's like a savant genius of some kind. i highly doubt that. but he's a real bad guy. >> this is going to be a good season, you and blake. >> love you, buddy, if you're at home. >> thanks so much, adam. >> you can catch the season premiere of "the voice" this monday at 8:00 on nbc. >> got goosebumps, that was so touching. willie, thank you. coming up next, "george to the rescue" helps amy van dyken-rouen renovate her house after that accident left her paralyzed. we'll have more on her road to recovery. first, this is "today" on nbc.

back now at 8:47 with home

stories. on george to the rescue, is he looking at ways to take what you already have and use it differently and does these renovations for truly deserving people. nice to see you. >> good morning, matt, hoda. >> you did some work for a friend of matt's. >> friend of the show's, actually. >> amy van dyken-rouen. she is an inspiration. even more than that, she is a fantastic human being. proud to call her a friend. >> obviously she has needs now that she's in a wheelchair. what kind of things did you do? >> probably number one for her was carpets. we ripped out all the carpet in her house. we put down beautiful tile floors that look like wood and then in her closet, what they're showing right now, we made her closet racks come to her rather than having to go to the closet. >> incredible. >> we renovated the whole closet. she can pull it down, get what she needs, gives her independence.

>> she texted me after you were there and saw the improvements and she was thrilled. >> that is terrific. >> nice job. >> george, take us through some things that we can do in our own home. >> all right. this is a little different than what we did for amy. these are cool things i've come up with that we've used on the show or around my house. this is pvc piping. this is a big pvc pipe. you can use anywhere from half inch to what we have here. you can make it like a pyramid. glue it like so. >> so we can store things. >> you want to let it dry. make it into a wine rack, shoe ro rack. >> what did you say? >> wine rack. >> in hoda's house, wine doesn't last long enough to ever build a rack. >> ha, ha, ha. >> crafts. it can go as long as you continue to go up in that shape, you can go as high as you want. >> smart. >> little storage piece of advice as you're combining crown

moldings and shoes. >> on the rescue, we always end up with scrap crown molding and came up with this idea -- my wife's shoes are always on the floor in the closet. crown molding has this nice little edge. can you paint it a cool color and then literally the heels just hang right on it. decorative element, use it as a decorative element in your house anyway. >> little adhesive and a couple of screws? >> you can use adhesive. some are strng enough. i use screws just because i hate when things come crashing down. >> would you put that on your wall or in your closet? >> on the wall inside my closet. if you have an amazing shoe collection, you could do the whole wall in shoes. >> not really. >> create a little shoe museum. >> a shoe-seum, okay. >> now you've taken items everybody has in their home. >> beautiful towel racks, toilet paper holders. instead of using it for toilet paper, you can use it for your

jewelry. >> smart, really smart. >> put it in your closet as well, your bathroom, wherever you want. my wife, again, her necklaces get all balled up and stuff like that. there was just the jewelry drawer. why not hang them? use s hooks, old towel rings. >> it looks pretty. >> but in the dark don't reach for this things it's toilet paper. that would hurt. >> move it away from the toilet to another part of the bathroom, maybe in the closet. >> george, great advice. thanks, honey. >> my pleasure, guys. >> check your local listings and find out when you can catch the season premiere of "george to the rescue" on nbc. this is "today" on nbc. >> yes, it is. yes, it is. can't hold my breath ♪
